Boiled Armenian-style lamb
Description
The recipe won't take much time. As far as I know, the classic Armenian boiled lamb recipe is also known by another name—hashlama, I believe. Similar simple recipes exist in every cuisine. The only difference lies in the herbs and spices, don't you think? So here's my simple Armenian-style boiled lamb recipe, where I've intentionally left out specific spices—because they can be whatever you like! I highly recommend you try it. Serve hot.
